DURHAM, N.C. – Former Duke men's tennis doubles All-America Theo Winegar had his Wimbledon run end Monday third round setback. Winegar and doubles partner Jean-Julien Rojer fell in three sets to No. 6 seed Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic.Â
Playing at the All England Lawn Tennis Club, Winegar and Rojer dropped the match, 7-6 (7-5), 4-6, 3-6. After leading 4-1 in the opening set, Arevalo and Pavic stormed back to force a 4-4 tie. Even at 5-5 and 6-6, the set went to the tiebreaker. Winegar and Rojer flipped a 2-2 tie into a 4-2 lead and never allowed another tie in holding on for the victory in the first set.Â
In the second set, a break-hold-break run turned a 4-3 deficit for Arevalo and Pavic into a set victory and force a deciding third. After a 1-1 tie in the final set, Arevalo and Pavic held, broke and held to open a 4-1 advantage and put away the match.Â
Winegar, who graduated from Columbia in May 2024 and joined the Blue Devils for the 2024-25 campaign, earned ITA Doubles All-America honors in 2025 after finishing No. 3 in the final doubles rankings with Cooper Williams.
